Product — ONKI

No hardware. Just a QR code and a question.

Onki puts an AI shopping expert in every aisle. With one scan, shoppers can ask anything in their own language and get 2–4 tailored picks from the store’s own shelves, with clear explanations and directions to each.

Overview

The shopper's own phone is the device.

No app to download, no account to create, no store hardware to buy. A shelf tag and a phone already in a shopper's pocket is the whole system.

On a store's tablet
  • QR code on shelf signage. Opens instantly once scanned, no app or signup.
  • Text or voice. Both full experiences for the shopper, equally knowledgeable assistance.
  • Dozens of languages, matched to each store's shopper base.
  • Optional tablet or kiosk for stores that want a bigger presence in the aisles.

How It Works

From a scan to a confident decision.

  1. 01

    Scan

    No app, no signup. A shelf tag reads “Not sure which bottle? Scan me.” The shopper scans and Onki opens instantly in their browser.

  2. 02

    Ask

    Type or talk, exactly as they'd text a friend who knows the category. Talk about the occasion, food, taste, budget, who it's for. In their own language.

  3. 03

    Discover

    Onki recommends 2–4 products from that store’s own shelves and catalog, each with a clear explanation of why it matches the shopper’s needs.

  4. 04

    Decide

    “Less sweet,” “cheaper,” “compare these two.” The session adapts until the shopper is confident, then points them straight to the bottle.

Example Interaction

Shopper

"Dinner tonight, steak, something bold but not too pricey."

ONKI

"Here's three that fit: a Malbec with enough structure for the steak, a Cabernet Sauvignon that's a classic pairing, and one adventurous pick, a Syrah, if you want something different."

Shopper

"The Cabernet seems a little pricey, anything cheaper?"

ONKI

"Swapping it for a more affordable Cabernet instead. Same bold, structured style, about $10 less. It's on Aisle 2, right next to the Malbec."

Full interaction demo

Onki runs on the shopper's own phone. No camera and no store-side hardware watching the aisle needed. Sessions aren't tied to an identity. More on how data is handled below.

Interface

Simple enough for a first-time shopper.

Text is quiet and private for a shopper standing in a public aisle; voice is faster when their hands are full. Both are full, immersive experiences.

Technology

Built to get smarter with every interaction.

Catalog-Grounded Reasoning

Onki only recommends what the store actually carries. Every pick comes from its live catalog, so shoppers never walk out searching for a product they can’t buy there.

Conversational AI

Shoppers simply say what they need, in their own words, by text or voice, in dozens of languages. No menus, no keywords, no learning curve.

Closed-Loop Learning

Every question, recommendation, and correction teaches Onki something new. The more shoppers use it, the sharper its advice gets, in every store.

Integration & Customization

A one-click, read-only connection keeps Onki synced to the store’s live catalog, with no on-site setup or manual updates. Prices, availability, and promotions update in real time, and the language mix is tailored to each store’s shoppers. Shopify is live today, with leading POS systems coming next.

Data & Privacy

Onki records what was asked, what was recommended, and what happened next, but never who asked it. There’s no camera, no login, and no personal data tied to any session.

No personal ID No camera Encrypted

Support & Reliability

If a catalog arrives with gaps, such as missing prices, images, or categories, Onki resolves them with the retailer before going live. A wrong answer at the shelf costs more than a short delay.
